Pride Month continues with this Conversion Camp comedy classic! First off, there seems to be a problem with Katie's sound in this one, I did what I could to adjust it, but apologies in advance. It should still be listenable, but we'll do out best to prevent that from happening again. In this episode: we explain Skip-Its to Gen Z, Emma has some ideas for adding communities to the Queer spectrum, a visit to a cow cuddle farm, and we brush on some of the Problems in the World Today.

In August of 2023, the Osage County Sheriff's Office in Oklahoma released a journal entry written in Dennis Rader's own handwriting. The entry described a fantasy of taking a young woman from a laundromat. Rader had a title for it. He had written it on the page. "Bad Wash Day."The reason that journal entry was released matters. On June 23, 1976, a sixteen-year-old Pawhuska, Oklahoma, cheerleader named Cynthia Dawn Kinney finished her shift at her aunt and uncle's laundromat. She was reportedly last seen getting into a car with two women she did not appear to know. She has never been seen alive since. Her body has never been found. Almost half a century later, her family is still waiting.In the fourth chapter of True Crime Today's five-part BTK investigation, host Tony Brueski walks through the thirteen years between Rader's last confirmed Kansas killing in 1991 and his March 2004 resurfacing, and the question that has been driving cold-case investigators in multiple states since 2023. Did Dennis Rader actually stop, or did the system miss him?The episode covers Sheriff Eddie Virden's 2023 task force announcement. The August 2023 excavation of a property near Rader's former Park City home. Dr. Katherine Ramsland's "powering down" framework from a decade of correspondence. The March 2024 ruling out of the Shawna Beth Garber case as Rader's. The continuing disagreement between the Osage County Sheriff's Office, which still names Rader a prime suspect in the Kinney case, and the Osage County District Attorney, who has publicly said the evidence does not support charges.Dennis Rader is eighty-one. The families are aging. The case is not closed.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

High school envy turns lethal in DEATH OF A CHEERLEADER (1994), and The Blind Rage Podcast is reliving every icy hallway stare, every brittle smile, and every unhinged burst of ambition that made this '90s TV thriller legendary sleepover material. Inspired by a real murder case that stunned parents and tabloids alike, the film tracks a lonely overachiever who becomes dangerously obsessed with the most popular girl in school, played with porcelain poise by Kellie Martin, while Tori Spelling detonates the screen in a performance so intensely committed it has transcended melodrama and ascended into pure camp folklore. There is something both tragic and perversely fascinating about how desperately this story claws at the idea of perfection. Pep rallies and pastel bedrooms become pressure cookers. Compliments land like threats. Every attempt to belong tightens the noose a little further. DEATH OF A CHEERLEADER balances earnest after school special sincerity with moments so heightened they feel almost surreal, which may explain why it has earned enduring devotion from queer horror and camp aficionados who recognize theatrical obsession when they see it.

In 1991, a suburban Texas mother was arrested for allegedly trying to hire a hitman over a middle school cheerleading competition.This week on When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom examines the shocking case of Wanda Holloway, better known as the "Texas Cheerleader Mom." What began as a disappointing cheerleading tryout in Channelview, Texas spiraled into one of the most bizarre murder-for-hire plots in American true crime history.Through recorded wiretap conversations, courtroom drama, media obsession, and the lasting impact on the children caught in the middle, we explore how parental ambition, social status, and vicarious living transformed a school rivalry into a national scandal.Was this ever really about cheerleading? Or was it a cautionary tale about what happens when a parent's identity becomes intertwined with a child's success?Join us as we uncover the story behind the Texas Cheerleader Murder Plot, the infamous "Cheerleader Mom" case, and the psychological dangers of living through someone else's dreams.When Killers Get Caught is a true crime podcast focused on the people, psychology, and moments behind violent crimes and what happens when the darkness finally meets the light.Follow and join the conversation:

This podcast episode is a continuation of the story of the Package. 53 women disappeared starting in the 1990's and were never found. A package arrives at the home of retired Forensic Psychologist Cathy Plegmore. Cathy is 70 years old and although she has had a very successful career she is haunted by the one that got away. Now after all these years the kidnapper whose initials are VG is ready to play his game with her that he started over 30 years ago. 

This week, we're talking about something a lot of us struggle with: being your own biggest cheerleader. Whether it's promoting your business, asking for opportunities, pitching yourself to brands, or finally sharing that project you've been sitting on for years, sometimes the hardest part is believing in yourself enough to put yourself out there. We talk about why confidence is not arrogance, how closed mouths don't get fed, and why nobody is going to magically discover your talents if you never talk about them. Annaliese also shares behind-the-scenes stories from launching her book, reaching out to media, and throwing herself a full-on book release party complete with a balloon arch.Of course, the conversation eventually turns into classic Farm Girls chaos with AOL screen names that absolutely should not have existed, period horror stories after getting off birth control, and moon water witchery. This episode is motivational, filled with fun, and a reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is believe in yourself first.Connect with Annaliese & Courtney:Follow Annaliese on Instagram @modfarmchickFollow Courtney on Instagram @greenpasturescattleFollow Okayest Farm Girls on Instagram @okayestfarmgirls Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Pfingsten eskaliert komplett, als BastiMasti beim Dorffest fast wie ein Fremder verhört wird und anredo seinen Neffen im überfüllten Freizeitpark plötzlich in eine Alien-Horrorbahn setzt. BastiMasti und anredo erleben das vielleicht deutscheste Pfingstwochenende aller Zeiten. Während BastiMasti auf dem Pfingstfest im Heimatdorf landet, kämpft sich anredo durch den komplett überfüllten Movie Park. Zwischen Wertbons, Cheerleadern und Dorfgerüchten eskaliert Pfingsten komplett. Rheinländer BastiMasti kehrt zurück ins Dorf und merkt schnell, dass dort eigene Regeln gelten. Statt Bierpilz gibt es jetzt Hygienekonzept, Red-Bull-Kühlschrank und vegetarische Wurst auf Anfrage. Dazu kommen alte Bekannte, merkwürdige Dorfgossip-Geschichten und ein Mann, der wissen will, warum Basti überhaupt dort ist. Außerdem geht es um Senfverbrauch, Heimatvereine und die Frage, wie man im Dorf sozial aufsteigt. Derweil nimmt anredo seinen Neffen zum ersten Mal mit in einen Freizeitpark. Eigentlich soll es ein entspannter Onkel-Neffe-Tag im Movie Park werden. Stattdessen endet alles in Reizüberflutung: Überall laufen Cheerleader herum und drehen TikToks in den Warteschlangen. Dazu kommen Diskussionen an Achterbahnen, kaputte Sonnencreme-Automaten und eine Alien-Wasserbahn, die für einen Dreijährigen vielleicht doch etwas zu intensiv war. Natürlich plant anredo trotzdem schon den nächsten Freizeitparkbesuch. Außerdem geht’s um den ESC und warum Deutschland mal wieder komplett untergeht. Dazu kommen verstörende Autobahn-Geschichten mit zerquetschten Autos und einem abgestürzten Segelflugzeug auf der A45. Nebenbei diskutieren die beiden über Krähenfüße, Herpes und KI-Plakate. Also eigentlich ein ganz normaler Pfingstmontag bei rundfunk17. Diese und alle anderen Episoden #rundfunk17 findet ihr unter anderem bei Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer und als RSS-Feed.

Matt and Jen discuss the concept of being in the "arena" versus being a spectator or cheerleader in various aspects of life, such as business and fitness. They highlight a social media post about a U.S. senator's views on capital gains, noting the divided opinions of commenters who haven't experienced entrepreneurial risks. They emphasize the importance of personal experience and resilience, sharing their own struggles with business and health. They stress that being in the arena involves taking risks, facing challenges, and growing through failures. They also encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and into the arena to truly transform your life.Listen In!Thank you for listening to this episode of Ignite Your Impact!As referenced in the show you can visit our website at phenixmethod.comJoin our Private Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/phenixmethodbodyandlifestyletransformations for lifestyle transformation hacks that the pros use.

The Wellington Phoenix women's inaugural captain Lily Alfeld became a cult figure off the field when a back injury ended her playing days prematurely. Alfeld was the first ever signing for the team five years ago, but for the past three years she's been working for the club with community engagement. The former goalkeeper said she's still the team's biggest cheerleader as they head into the A-League Grand Final on Saturday. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

Most ambitious men are quietly dying in a "comfortable" trap. In this forensic breakdown, combat veteran and former police officer Garrett Pastor exposes why the words "I'm fine" are the most dangerous signal of a soul-killing plateau. If you feel isolated, overworked, or unfulfilled despite your success, this episode is your diagnostic tool to escape "The Drift."  Ted Phaëton sits down with Garrett Pastor to dismantle the "Chief Everything Officer" identity crisis. They deconstruct the exact mechanics of how high-performing men lose their North Star and provide the 2026 protocol for building, not finding, a life of intentional purpose.
